Stars are in the quiet skies,
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Sleep, little darlings, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Slumber, slumber, lullaby.

Life is weary, sweetly sleep,
By your side my watch I keep,
Sleep, little darlings, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Slumber, slumber, lullaby.
